3 things you should stop doing to live more sustainably even when working from home

We all sometimes think about doing something to help the planet. But often we think that doing something is too complicated. I am here you tell you that that is not true. There are many small things that you can do to make a difference, and I’m going to explain three of the best ones.

The first is to stop going to the big supermarket changes and instead to shop locally. One of the best ways to not only support the local community during these tough times is to shop locally, but it’s also more eco-friendly. Ever wonder where those perfectly green apples come from? They were probably grown in a different country, shipped to you, or flown in, all those miles are a lot of CO2! So, my advice is; go to your local fruits and veggies shop, the local baker, and local butchers.

The second thing you should stop doing is using all those harmful chemicals when cleaning. Trust me when I tell you that you do not need them. There are a lot of eco-friendly options that do not harm the environment, and they can often be bought locally or online. It’s really not difficult and many of the products work the exact same way. For example, dishwashing liquid!

The third step is to stop using so much plastic. Now, this might sound like a very big task but trust me when I say it's easier than you think. A simple swap here and a simple swap there can get you a long way. For example, your dishwasher pods, have plastic, swap them for plastic-free ones. Your shampoo comes in plastic, swap it for a shampoo bar! Works just as well and doesn’t harm the environment.

We are all in this together, and we share this planet so make sure, no matter how small the act is that you can make the difference.
